This book includes small graphs, charts and interactive holes in the pages to show rocks! I would recommend this book to 3rd grade and up. I say 3rd grade because I feel at this age they are starting to understand graphs and charts, so I feel they would be able to understand this book and be able to follow along with the informational stuff about the Grand Canyon. This book is a very good informational book that I would say is good for a 2nd grade classroom. The book gives a lot of information about the current Grand Canyon and what life can be found there, but at the same time offers glimpses into the past. It describes what animals, insects, and birds live in the Grand Canyon and what part of it they might live. It gives little bits of information in the margins of every page which adds to the informational aspect of the book. I would use this book to teach kids about the Grand Canyon and about things such as erosion. The last few pages of the book are all informational so if students wanted to learn more they have the opportunity to. As a father and daughter take a magical journey together they explore the Grand Canyon’s past, using artifacts and fossils, while at the same time examining the current ecological community. Includes Notes on the Grand Canyon, Author’s Note, Illustrator’s Note, Selected Sources, For Further Reading. no reviews | add a review
